Airbus Acj Twotwenty vs Airbus Acj319 vs Boeing Bbj Max 8 vs Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Bombardier Global 8000 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G800
By category, the Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty and ACJ320 and the Boeing BBJ MAX 8 and BBJ MAX 9 are airliner-based VIP aircraft, typically offering the most cabin volume and customization, while the Bombardier Global 8000, Dassault Falcon 8X, and Gulfstream G800 are purpose-built ultra-long-range business jets, optimized for long nonstop missions and private-jet airport access. On range, the leaders are the Gulfstream G800 and Bombardier Global 8000 (both roughly in the ~8,000 nautical mile class, depending on configuration), followed by the Dassault Falcon 8X (about ~6,450 nm). The ACJ TwoTwenty is in the mid-long range tier (around ~5,650 nm). The ACJ320 is typically longer-legged than the BBJ MAX variants (often cited around ~6,000 nm class with auxiliary tanks), while the BBJ MAX 8 and MAX 9 generally sit in the ~3,250–3,500 nm class. On passenger capacity, the airliner-derived ACJ/BBJ types can be configured for dozens of passengers, with maximums well above typical VIP layouts. The business jets are usually configured for roughly 12–19 passengers, emphasizing space per person over seat count.
